Summary Introduction
To determine:
The unique structures in poxviruses.
Introduction:
Poxviruses contain DNA as their genetic material and are characterized by distinctive skin pustules called pocks. These pustules leave small, depressed scars upon healing. Poxviruses multiply in well-defined sites in the cytoplasm of epidermal cells and subcutaneous tissue.
